Figure 1. Role of ILF within the GALT of the intestine. ILF consist of a heterogeneous population of immune cells that includes DCs, T cells, Tfh-like cells and Treg cells. Moreover, they comprise of B cells, IgA+ B cells, IgG+ B cells and IgM+ B cells, supporting their role in the class switching of B cells. Human ILFs plays a role as crucial immune inducer sites of adaptive immune response with an ability to produce secretory IgA that plays a role in providing the first line of defence in the intestinal tissue.
DCs, dendritic cells; Ig, Immunoglobulin; ILF, isolated lymphoid follicles; Tfh, T follicular helper cells.
